Columbia Lions (6-4)

(STATS) - It's possible a team with a sub-.500 record in Ivy League games last season could be the preseason favorite in the Ancient Eight.

That's how intriguing and unpredictable the title race could be in 2019.

Yale slumped to 3-4 in the league after winning the 2017 title. Last year's top squads, Princeton and Dartmouth, went a combined 19-1, but the champion Tigers lost a ton in the offensive skills positions and graduation is ravaging the Big Green's offensive and defensive lines. Also, Harvard, Columbia and Penn will help keep it a deep race.
